Coming from old growth BRW, the figuring is intense and colorful. The fingerboard has a 12" radius and includes a highly figured Rock maple binding with green riple Abalone purfling. The Pearlworks inlayed Sea shell design of Black lip MoP and MoP is classy. The Headstock is "book matched Brazilian rosewood with a highly figured rock maple binging with green rippled Abalone purfling inlayed with a Sea Horse of black lip MoP and MoP. Rounding out the specs is a vintage bone nut and gold / Engraved Waverly open back tuning pegs. The bridge is Joe's exceptional one-piece tune-a-matic. The Pickups are Fralin pure PAF's.
